2044354 - Update the Containers colors

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Containers, task)

Description

[Andrea Marchesini [:baku]]

Nova has a new set of colors for Containers. This bug will be moved to the Containers bugzilla components as soon as available (bug 2044350).

For this bug we need to:

• support the nova colors when nova is active
• map old containers colors to the new ones. The differences are: turquoise -> cyan and toolbar -> gray
• implement the color migration in ContextualIdentityService
• support legacy colors in the webext API

Richard, could you update the contextualIdentities article on MDN (and the release notes) and BCD to mention the color changes?

Note that the change of these colors is why we have a new extension API to enumerate supported colors (bug 2044712), to enable extensions to be compatible with other color changes in the future, without requiring them to hardcode the colors.
